MAYOR SUGGESTS TOWN CUT SALARIES
Snake in Church Is Cause of
Disturbance During Service
An uninvited snake, of rather
huge proportions, caused consid
erable excitement and came near
breaking up the preaching service
at Grace Episcopal church here
Sunday night. The reptile was first
discovered by the congregation
crawling along the rafters of the
ceiling of the church.
The service was brought to a
standstill when this discovery was
made, but before anything could
1 be done, the snake concealed him
self. Hence, the service was con
tinued. It was not long, however,
until the snake bobbed up on the
pipe organ, causing still further
excitement. But before any one
could get to him, he had eased
himself into a hole, where he
could not be bothered.
To date the snake has not been
captured, and it is generally sup
posed that he is still making his
abode in the church.
TOWN CLERK PRESENTS
FIGURES ON FINANCIAL
STATUS OF PLYMOUTH
HOW I WISH TO LIVE i
v>
I wish to live without hate, whim,
jealousy, envy, fear. I wish to be
simple, honest, frank, natural, clean
in mind and clean in body, unaf
fected—to say “I do not know” if
it be so, and to face any obstacle and
meet every difficulty unabashed and
unafraid.
I wish others to live their lives,
up to their highest, fullest,-and best.
To that end I pray that I may never
meddle, interfere, dictate, give ad
vice that is not wanted, or assist
when my services are not needed.
If I can help people. I’ll do it by
giving them a chance to help them
selves; and if I can uplift or inspire,
let it be by example, inference, and
suggestion, rather than by injunc
tion and dictation.—Elbert Hub
bard.
PONY IS KILLED
AFTER BEING BIT
BY RABID DOu
-®
Officers Report More Mad
Dogs In Section Than In

A pony belonging to T. C. Burgess,
if Plymouth, was killed here \\ ednes
lav morning by local officers after

norning which was pronounced by the
Mate laboratory to be suffering with
•allies. Mr. Burgess’ dog was also

mown that the hydrophobic dog bit

FIXED CHARGES
WILL CONSUME
MOST OF LEVY
Maintenance of the Sinking
Funds Take Care of All
Bonds, Report Shows
At the meeting of the town coun- j
oil ami mayor here Monday night, M. |
\V. Spruill, city clerk, presented some
facts and figures concerning the town’s
indebtedness which should prove of
interest to the people of Plymouth.
Mr. Spruill stated that assuming the
town keeps the same valuation that it
now has, and if the annual budget i>
'met properly, then the town will have
! the following rate in 1936. He stated
that in regards to sewer bonds the
town has nothing to worry about, as
I that is a fixed thing and with the sink
! ing fund now in effect of $2,749.17, and
if the fixed sum of $1,709.62 is set aside
every year the town will have sufficient
funds to care for this bond debt when
it falls due.
Light and power bonds, he stated.
, may also be forgotten, as that is a
fixed thing, the town having the money ,
in the bank to meet this obligation
when it comes due.
I hen in 1936, Mr. Spruill stated that |
the town’s bond debt of $85,000, called i
Street and Improvement Bonds. Those I
I bonds will start coming due in 1945. |
j which is nine years later, at which |
time the town will be clear of the $1,- \
1709.62 sinking fund, as this will be!
paid in full at this time.
In 1936 should the city not have
:levied one cent for the city share ot
street and assessment at this time the
Itown will have an unpaid bond debt i
j of $145,000 and those bonds will re- j
|tire annually at $5,000 and the inter- !
est which is $8,700, making a total !
of $13,700 to be paid each year.
Hence, the town will have the fol- |
lowing amount to pay each year from |
|1936 to 1945:
1 Street assessment bonds, $5,000; in
Iterest on the same, $8,700; interest on 1
street improvement bonds, $5,100;
!sinking fund on sewer bonds, $1,709.62;
|total long term liabilities, $20,509.62
per year.
Then should the city operating ex
penses be the same as that today, that
is, $5,660, the total levy will be $26,
169.62 per year, and the total tax rate
will be $2.35 and there will be no as
sesment tax as the town has at pres
ent.
